Have we raised enough brick? It seems that the industry has taken ... to-the sales force constitu-. Knowing that the housing stock to sell over a million properties-the million and a half, according to RR Acuña Castroviejo, it is not surprising that the housing stock will grow at the slowest pace since the start of the crisis.
According to the Ministry of Public Works, Park Spanish households grew by 0.19% over the past year, adding up to 25.44 million residences, so the slower rate of annual increase is noted from the beginning of the crisis and even the last decade. The sequence of exercises with lows in development and construction of new homes has resulted in a barely imperceptible evolution of the number of existing homes in Spain.
Almost three quarters (74.6%) of the total park floors correspond to primary residences, that is, those for primary residences, which totaled 18.99 million units, also an increase of 4.8% comparison with 2012.
In contrast, during the last year fell by 11.2% the number of non-primary residences (aimed at second home and other uses), which thus stood at 6.45 million, down from the height of seven million units for the first time since 2006, pre-crisis period. Thus, the year 2013 was the smallest increase in the total housing stock has recorded since the beginning of the crisis, since between 2007 and 2012 recorded annual progressions between 0.5% and 2.3%.
For communities at the end of last year, which had a higher housing stock are Andalusia, with 4.39 million homes, Catalonia (3.88 million), California (3.16 million) and Community of Madrid (2 93 million).
As for non-primary residences, fell the regions where the park of this type of flooring is Madrid, which ended 2013 with 325,027 secondary homes, 22% lower than the previous year, along with the Basque Country (-19.8 % to 120,105 homes) and Catalonia (-19%, with 769,483 sub floors).

How a property is valued for investment
Real estate acquired for investment, have completely different parameters, which are bought to live in them, when making an assessment of the same.
To assess multifamily properties, industrial, malls, office buildings and other property intended to serve as sources of income, three different methods are used: a) Replacement value; b) Comparison of income; c) value per square foot building and the land on which the building is erected.
Replacement Value: Replacement value as the name implies, is calculated taking into account the cost to build a building that would bring the same type, size and quality, which is appreciating in place and the area where the finds himself.
This is achieved through the current value of the lot of land on the property and the cost of rebuilding the property itself is erected; well, considering the size and facilities of the same, based on the current value of the building materials to be used, following the manufacturing drawings, as well as the cost of labor and any additional costs associated with the work.
Comparison of income: This technique is used mostly in multifamily properties, shopping centers, office buildings and industrial parks and is based on performance yielding property in the financial year of a fiscal year, which is obtained by summing the annual revenues and these subtracting all expenses incurred during that period. That sum will yield net operating revenue in the fiscal year for which question. That figure is then divided by the money used to buy the property and have the economic performance of the property, in its first year. That performance compares to other properties of the same type, within a radius of one kilometer radius, and up to the desired number. It is known that some properties offer more performance if they are financed that if you pay in cash.
Value per square foot building and grounds of the property: This mode is easy to understand, because it is do a search for the square footage of the properties that have recently sold and closed in the area, with the aim of obtaining the average price paid per square foot manufacturing and field, to apply to the actual dimensions of the property being valued.
Although it seems simple it is not, because factors such as access to the property, parking, proximity to main roads with intense traffic, existing tools and / or heavy equipment locked in place, and the physical location of the property in the block itself , may affect the intrinsic value of the property.
Most important of all is the location of the property. A good location justifies any adjustment to the purchase price. Should always be taken into account to compare the properties are similar; that is, to compare oranges with oranges with oranges and apples ever.

The volume of real estate sales in Texas are comparable with those of 2009; prices remain uniform
According to the most recent version of the Texas Quarterly Housing Report (Quarterly Housing Texas), the effects of the federal tax credits last year for homebuyers survived in the Texas real estate market in the second quarter of 2011.
As described in the report, sales of single-family homes totaled 58.795; 12 percent less than the same quarter of the previous year in which sales volumes were supported by tax credits for homebuyers, who were overcome.
Dwight Hale, chairman of the Texas Association of Realtors (Realtors Association of Texas), commented on the results: "While sales statewide have fallen compared with 2010, when the tax credits were having the greatest impact in our market, we are at par with the second quarter of 2009. Moreover, Texas has we dominated national headlines for its economic strength, which makes it clear that the recovery continues in our state. "
Jim Gaines, Ph.D., an economist with the Real Estate Center at Texas A & M University, also commented on the results:
"Given the impact of tax credits last year, not surprised to see fewer sales this quarter compared to last year. Anyway, I'm surprised to see that sales volumes were not further behind in respect of 2010" .
Real estate prices in the second quarter of 2011 indicate strength in the Texas market. . Median price was U.S. $ 150.400, one percent higher than the same quarter of 2010 the average price in the 2nd quarter of 2011 was U.S. $ 201.288; 4.6 percent higher than Q2 2010.
Gaines explained. "Increasing the average price of Texas homes indicates more activity among higher priced homes Homebuyers higher priced have been less affected by tighter mortgage lending standards and real estate have become an attractive vehicle for investment, due to instability in other investments like securities. "
He continued: "It is also important to note that the price stability of Texas is in stark contrast to many other parts of the country have shown sharp falls in the price of both the median and average."
Another important market indicator is the inventory of homes available for sale compared to the demand to buy houses. Measured in months, Texas had 8.1 months of inventory in the second quarter of 2011, compared with 7.2 months in the 2nd quarter of 2010. That's 12.5 percent higher-or just less than 30 days of additional stock-compared with same period last year.
As Gaines explained, several factors contribute to this change: "Based on how this figure is calculated, estimates of the demand for real estate is affected by the tax credits last year also new housing stock entering the market. as banks resume foreclosures that had been delayed by the investigations related to the practice of robo-signing (filing false court documents). overall, our inventory is just below what we consider to be a market balance. "
Gaines also commented on the general trends mentioned in the report: "More than in previous quarters, we see a great variability among the 47 Texas markets included in this report generally markets that showed the largest increases in sales volumes when it was. available tax credit are the same markets that now show the greatest decreases after it ended. As always, it is important that buyers evaluate their own local markets and even their own submarkets-up neighborhood level, in many cases to take action and informed purchase sale. "
